request an appointmentWhat Is Legal DNA Testing?
Legal DNA testing (also known as chain-of-custody DNA testing) is required when results must be used for:
- Court proceedings
- Child support cases
- Custody or visitation disputes
- Immigration matters
- Probate or inheritance cases
- Adoption or foster care verification
Unlike at-home DNA kits, legal DNA testing follows a strict protocol to verify identity, document collection, and preserve specimen integrity from collection through laboratory analysis.
Our Role
NUVO Health Occupational Medicine is a DNA sample collection site, not the testing laboratory.
We provide:
- Identity verification using government-issued photo ID
- Witnessed sample collection
- Proper documentation and chain-of-custody completion
- Secure packaging and shipment to an AABB-accredited laboratory
- Professional medical environment for accuracy and credibility
Test results are delivered directly to the requesting court, attorney, or authorized agency, in accordance with legal protocol.
